UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hey all,

i sed on a topic a month ago that i would be avin a new zorst within the month, and bein a man of my word its done!
And man its sweet! as i sed in the post before, its a 4-2-1 manifold, decat, 1 centrebox and no backbox system with side exit!

The manifold is a Raceland one from Belgium i think and set me back just £150,

Powerflow fitted this and fabricated and fitted the rest of the system for £350 all in, not bad rele, and im well happy with the job.

Sounds sweet, not loud at all wen just cruising around, but wen u open the throttle she really grunts. no booming or droning inside with windows up either.

A deffinate improvement in performance n all, obviously its still slow as its only a 1.4 8v, but it deffo goes faster in each gear, and picks up a lot quicker.

There is however a downside, fuel economy, i put a tenner in str8 after avin zorst fitted, and would say that i av drivin my car for about a total of 2hours since, and my tank is now empty!











Videos : Turn the volume to max on the media player and turn your speakers up. There aint too much to see, mainly the top of my dashboard on most of em, its mainly about the sound.

By looking at them videos, its quite obvious why your petrol has sunk in that time lol.

I quite like the sound of your car! sounds good mate

man that made me smile!!!!! wooohooo, see u revin her in the industrial estate wen u were revvin then poppin it up on2 high rev, its sounded like the supra in the fast an the furious, thats fukin sweet man!!! lovin it!! hope ur proud

cheers dude, im more than happy with the sound.

And yeh, i guess the fact that i pretty much had me right foot nailed the floor for the 2 hours explains the fuel consumption, problem is that sound is so addictive that you cant help but boot it, so it is the zorst that leads to poor economy

jay

Your car looks mint in the pictures!

Wonder why it's using so much petrol though

Have your O2 sensors been removed??

and i can see why ur petrol goes dwn quick, for a start u limit ur car in nearly every gear, lol, crazy man, lovin it, plus have u an induction kit in or K&N coz i can hear a suction or is that ur cat

the lambda sensor is still there Tris, in fact its a brand new un, had it fitted wen they did the zorst.

i had poor economy befor n thort that that mite fix it, probly wud of if i dint av such a free flowing exhorst system.

Ah fair enough.

My 16v is currently achieving a lowly 20mpg

And I haven't been caining it that much lately!

Mostly normal driving

ill get new pics up of my car, coz i just got her lowered 60mm 2day an put my K&N back in, ill try an get a wee video of my wee 1Litre beater, lol

polo boi yeah thats the filter, its a ramair one, u can see it in the second pic.

im kinda in the process of maiking up the piping to take it out just behind the front grill, in the space between the grill and that plastic thing that holds the rad. cuz at the mo it just suckin in boiling hot air!

jay

lol, that wont help ur fuel consumption, as more air is bein sucked through the throttle body, but defintly gives the extra note

yo jay sign on2 msn
